Hospital inpatient programs are rehabilitation centers for drug abuse, which provide an exclusive and clinical setting for those in recovery. A hospital inpatient program may be a beneficial option for someone that has a co-occurring mental health disorder, and for someone with other medical requirements which may need to be overseen by medical professionals. Those who partake in that program may benefit from mental health services as well as addressing issues which may have prompted their drug abuse. Frequently individuals with a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate as opposed to efficiently responding to their problem. Professional rehabilitation counselors in the hospital inpatient program can help individuals turn the tide so that they will no longer find the need to use drugs and alcohol in this way, and instead develop solutions to make their mental health disorder more manageable. Medication is often used to accomplish this, however, this isn't the answer needed in every case. For instance, even subtle environmental adjustments to one's life can decrease stress and place a whole new perspective on things so that the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse alcohol or drugs. Therapy inside a hospital inpatient program will help expose such issues so they can be resolved.
